This is, indeed, a fun topic! I am a complete Apple enthusiast, and I wasn't fully aware of all that the older macs could do until this thread! :) Do you guys remember the old Apple 2E computer? With the floppy disks? I had one of those until middle school, reluctantlyy moved to windows for a while, and eagerly jumped back to the mac when my PC died and leopard came out. I seem to remember playing with outspoken a few times at school, but I had no idea it was capable of so much until recently. Thanks, Karen, for posting. I couldn't agree with you more about Apple's innovation and how Apple really reaches out to all consumers! Olivia "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower", Steve Jobs
